A historic judgement by the Supreme Court
Wednesday, 23 December 2009
THE Supreme Court in its full judgement of Bangabandhu murder case vehemently criticised the moves by prior governments after the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman for barring trial of the heinous crime and for rather promoting the killers to higher or diplomatic posts. The apex court termed the killing of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family members a great crime against humanity, humankind and civilisation. A murderer is always a murderer and a terrorist is always a terrorist and is enemy to humankind and humanity and an offender in the eye of the law.
To protect and shelter such killers is a great crime, a great sin and sin spares none. We would like to place on record our appreciation of the bravery of our honourable judges and other staff members, including counsels from both parties. We would also like to salute all our heroes who sacrificed their lives and fought for the country and the humankind. We will always remember those who showed to the cowardly terrorists that we are united and have the courage to stand up to them. We totally disapprove the aforesaid conduct, behaviour, mentalities and activities of the governments who were in power at the relevant time.
We hope that these undesirable activities which are shocking to the conscience of the nation should not be repeated by any future government. We earnestly hope and believe that rule of law, fundamental human rights, democratic institutions, and above all, constitutional supremacy should prevail in this country.
